Ideally, would be both. And it likely means getting Congress on board.
There’s a contagion effect, where news of school shootings inspires others to attempt the same.
The current position of the NYPD is that some random black guy wandering past a crime scene after the cops shot up a crowd decided to steal the knife that the cops considered to be key evidence. This is, to put it mildly, somewhat less credible than the claim that a crow tried to steal a murder weapon.
It’s not as fast as I’d like either, but it’s a lot better than the original USPS plan to replace them with diesel trucks.
Or, in this case, not being batty enough.
4.2 is tiny; other platforms are getting hundreds of thousands per day.
It’s small enough that the Mastodon use stats show it as noise.
I’ve seen the follow-around thing a couple times. Rare because we’re small. Become big, and it becomes a bigger problem
People can follow from a Mastodon instance and drop troll comments on all your posts
What it has going for it is a nuclear block; when you block somebody, their trollish response no longer shows up in the feed of your followers, and your post no longer shows up in feed of their followers. This basically kills trolling as as sport.
The fact that on Mastodon & Lemmy “block” means “I can’t see their posts, but they can still summon followers to harass” makes them much less attractive as a platform.
Yes — also non-native speakers of a language tend to follow similar word choice patterns as LLMs, which creates a whole set of false positives on detection.
“filter out” is an arms race, and watermarking has very real limitations when it comes to textual content.
However heat pumps just don’t seem to make any sense, and the more marketing materials I read critically, the less convinced I am of their practicality, nor the integrity of the vendors - if they work similarly to air conditioning units or refrigerators why do they cost 20x as much as those devices?
A refrigerator cools a fairly small volume with excellent insulation, which allows it to use a fairly small compressor running at a single speed. This is cheap.
The big differences between typical air conditioning units and heat pumps are:
It doesn’t take people on the internet saying it though; just an association with people saying something and the name, which happens to people who write news articles about something.
I can see how that could happen for some homes. Worth doing the calculation though, since it can be cheaper if the pipes are adequate.
There has been a huge spike in BlueSky use, and Lula is now active there.
The big reason somebody might want air to water is that it enables a low-cost retrofit of an existing heating system which uses water to distribute heat. Definitely not what I’d choose if designing from scratch, but I can see how it makes financial sense in a lot of homes.
And yes, induction is amazing, but there are a whole bunch of people who have been marketed into treating gas stoves as their personal identity.
Yeah, the ad dollars all went to Facebook and Instagram, since they’re better-able to deliver the kind of targeting that advertisers want, so most local news stopped being financially viable.
